cooking fuel
Cooking fuel refers to the energy source used to prepare food, commonly including options like wood, charcoal, natural gas, propane, electricity, or renewable sources such as biogas. The choice of fuel impacts cooking efficiency, cost, safety, and environmental effects. In many regions, traditional fuels like wood and charcoal are still prevalent, often due to availability and affordability, but they can produce harmful emissions. Alternatively, modern fuels like LPG or electricity offer cleaner, more efficient cooking but may be less accessible or more expensive in some areas. Selecting appropriate cooking fuel depends on local resources, infrastructure, and economic factors.
